In the latter part of 2005 & early 2009-2015, gas prices have been
increased several times, amounting in an estimated average rise
of 60% for domestic energy consumers. Now, more than ever, is
the time to shop around for a cheaper supplier.
Did you know that the average sized household can make
considerable savings on gas bills compared to your local area
suppliers rates, just by effecting a simple change over online?
It is very easy to change energy suppliers, and should only take
a few minutes of your time. Moving to a new energy supplier is
not risky, as most suppliers are National Plc's who you can
trust and all of them are regulated by the government to ensure
a high level of service.
When changing your gas suppliers, there will be no interruption
to your supply. The same wires, pipes, and meters as you
currently use will be used by your new supplier. Your new
supplier will also contact your existing supplier to arrange the
transfer of your supply. The only change you will notice is that
your bill will come from a different supplier and it will be
cheaper.
You may want to consider changing other utility services, as
well. Combine your gas &
electricity bills with the same company & you can make even
more savings. Some companies even offer to package deals with
telephone and mobile phone services to offer much greater
overall savings.
* The process of switching energy suppliers is simple, and by
following the steps below you can do this swiftly & painlessly
online:
First find a price comparison service to source your best option
for the biggest savings. Choose a website that is endorsed by
Energy Watch if you like for added peace of mind.
Fill in your personal details, this takes around five minutes
and you will then be presented with a list of possible companies
in your area to change to. Generally this will be the cheapest,
but you can also find out which suppliers have the best service
ratings & which provide green tariffs e.t.c. Once you have
decided who to switch to, sign up online, and step 1 is complete.
The details are processed and forwarded to the supplier, who
will contact you to confirm the date on which your new service
will commence. You will have to take a meter reading on this
date, this will ensure that you are not billed twice for the
same energy. You will also be asked to sign and return a form
that confirms the switch - this is a legal requirement, if you
do not sign, the switch will not proceed.
The whole process takes approximately 28 days.
